The LA Times is at it again……attacking a green champion for no good reason!

In their article today, "Governor’s high-flying commute draws flak", they unfairly point out that even though the governor signed AB 32, he doesn’t seem to be living the life that bill mandates on the rest of us.

How dare they. HE BUYS CARBON CREDITS! So how can anyone criticize him!

The LA Times rages:

"Flying the Gulfstream and other jets the governor uses costs as much as $10,000 an hour. Some conservationists say Schwarzenegger is essentially attempting to buy a clean conscience with the carbon offsets, which cost about $43 an hour."

"He has been very bold on all these [environmental] initiatives, so it is sad to see him undercut that," said Denis Hayes, president of the Bullitt Foundation, a philanthropy that funds conservation efforts in Western states. "If you are going to be talking about an issue, you should be living the reality you are… Read More

The Los Angeles Times has documented with Pulitzer quality reporting, theracial gang wars in the L.A. basin. The largest and oldest Latino gang, the Mexican Mafia, has ordered ethnic cleansing of formerly all-black neighborhoods. This has led to an increase in black vs Latino violence. Close to my home, the Gateway Harbor area, several blacks have been murdered by Latino gangs in this expressed racial hate… Read More

"Lifted" from State Senator Tom Harman’s latest e-newsletter:

A Loophole by any other name is still the same After years of reckless spending and special-interest pandering, the liberal majority must now face their comeuppance in the form of a massive budget deficit. So they turn their focus to closing "loopholes." But there’s just one problem: The folks up in Sacramento have a very different notion of what constitutes a "loophole" than do the rest of us. The biggest "loophole" in California, according to state Legislative… Read More

AD 80 on again – off again candidate, Lupe Ramos Watson, is out.

Tomorrow, Gary Jeandron will become the unopposed Republican nominee for Assembly.

Now, for the next three months Gary will be able to fundraise and campaign while the Democrat candidates tear each other apart. And from what I’m hearing, it’s going to be a Democrat Battle Royale.

Since the day he announced Gary has been a juggernaut. He’s a well respected former police chief of Palm Springs, current school board member and even a marriage and family counselor (what a guy).

HIs fundraising is better than all the Democrats combined and his work ethic is second to none.

Jeandron is on a roll – and clearing the Primary is just another sign of his strength.

Anyone who knows me, knows my obsession with AD 80 (my old district). I’m very comfortable Gary… Read More

With his strong wins in Texas and Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont, Senator McCain has earned the delegates to be our Republican standard bearer for President. Right now he is receiving the endorsement of President Bush, a true showing of Republican unity that will be critical this November. President Bush is in a jovial mood, talking about how they’ve campaigned against each other and with each other over the years and that he will be back in Crawford with his feet up, while John is inside [the Oval Office] making the tough decisions. He expressed great confidence in McCain’s ability to lead, and had a bit of fun with the press in the process.

My hats off to Senator McCain for hanging with it and picking himself up off the deck in the primary process and getting the job done. Although I was with another candidate until soon after the Super Tuesday primary results, Senator McCain has and will act with honoras Commander In Chief, a very important distinction between he and whoever is his November Democrat opponent will be…critical for the future direction of our country and it’s affairs such as:

-Seeing through and honoring the… Read More

As I suspected, the Presidential election is occupying much of the media attention now and much of the attention of members of Congress as well. Furthermore, the controlling Democrats are generally of the belief that their candidate (whoever that is) will win in November and then, if they hold Congress, they can do what they want without having to make deals with President Bush. So, I expect much action on things like energy, immigration, health care, etc to be held until at least after November and probably next year. There are a few things scheduled to expire this year, like farm subsidies, on which some action is expected. But, there is still no agreement in the House on the now expired Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act which passed the Senate by a wide margin. So, even those items that are on a deadline of sorts don’t seem to be moving in this paralyzed Congress.

Federal Budget: One of the items that Congress is supposed to take up each year (but sometimes doesn’t) is a federal budget. By the Constitution, spending and tax bills must originate in the House. So, the House is beginning… Read More
